NAKED MEN KINK FESTIVAL

KINK ♦ POWER ♦ EROS

2-4 OCTOBER 2026 in Zurich

1. General & Target Audience

Who is this festival for? We welcome everyone on the queer-masculine spectrum (gay, bi, pan, trans men, non-binary people) who wants to explore an intensive, physical, and ritual-kinky experience within a community.

Do I need to be a BDSM pro? Absolutely not. We welcome everyone: from curious beginners with basic knowledge to experienced players. The workshops on Saturday safely prepare you for the collective ritual on Sunday. Your curiosity is more important than your technical skills.

Can I come as a couple? Yes, you are very welcome. We have special couple tickets. You decide whether you want to stay within your couple for the whole weekend or open up to playing with others. The collective ritual on Sunday offers a powerful space for both options.

2. Setting & Dress Code

Do I have to be naked the whole time? On Friday at the bar, we stay clothed. On Saturday and Sunday, nakedness is our standard "outfit" as it breaks down barriers. You can wear kinky accessories like harnesses, collars, or masks. Shoes are not allowed. Doms are welcome to wear more fetish gear during the Sunday ritual to emphasize the power dynamic.

Are there showers and a cloakroom? Yes. Our studio has showers and a space for your clothes and luggage. We do not take liability for lost items, so please leave valuables at home.

Phones and Privacy? Absolute discretion is our law. Smartphones must stay in the cloakroom during the entire festival. Photos and videos are strictly prohibited.

3. Body & Uncertainty

What if I get an erection? This is completely natural. We are in an erotically charged space. It will not be judged or commented on.

Am I attractive or "kinky" enough? There is no body or gear pressure. Every age, body shape, and level of experience is welcome. Authenticity is more important than perfection.

What does trans-inclusivity mean in practice? We are a trans-affirming space. Trans men and masculine-presenting non-binary people are full members of our community—regardless of where they are in their transition.

4. Program & Location

Where does the festival take place? In Zurich, near main station. You will receive the exact location of the bar (Friday) and the studio (Saturday/Sunday) one week before the festival along with your packing list.

Do I have to choose a role (Dom/Sub)? Role choice is flexible on Saturday (switching is possible). For the ritual on Sunday, a commitment to one role is required to ensure structural stability and the energetic flow of the space. You have to define your role for the ritual when purchasing the ticket. 

What is the Navigator Pass? Our consent tool. Using the traffic light system (Green, Yellow, Red), you can clearly communicate your desires and boundaries at any time. 

5. Tickets & Solidarity

Why do Dom and Sub tickets have different prices? The festival relies on dynamics. We use pricing to balance the ratio in the room, ensuring there are enough Doms to hold the space during the Sunday ritual.

What is a Solidarity Contribution? A voluntary donation used to fund discounted spots for community members with lower budgets. This contribution does not include admission. Read more here.

I cannot afford the ticket price. How can I still participate? We believe that participation should not fail due to financial hurdles. There are two ways:
Solidarity Fund: Discounted spots funded by the "Karma Booster" contributions of other participants. We trust your self-assessment here. Helper Spots: In cases where your available budget is very low, we occasionally offer helper spots. If we feel you are a good fit for the tasks on-site, you can support the event and reduce your financial contribution. In both cases, please use the Discount Application Form.

6. Social Dynamics & Boundaries

I am coming alone. Will I find connections? Yes. Friday evening is specifically designed for this. Through icebreaker games and Saturday's workshops, you will become part of the group. No one stays alone unintentionally.

What if I don’t want to participate in an exercise or the ritual? Your "No" is sacred. We practice radical self-responsibility. You can step out of an exercise, watch, or take a break at any time. There is no peer pressure.

Is this a sex party? No. It is a kink festival with a ritual focus. Sexual acts can be part of the play, but the focus is on power dynamics, energy flow, and technical learning. It is not a darkroom setting, but a conscious space.

7. Substances & Health

What is your policy on drugs and alcohol? The festival is a Sober Space. To ensure clear consent and maintain the depth of the experience, we completely refrain from mind-altering substances during the program on Saturday and Sunday. Moderate consumption on Friday evening is fine.

How do you handle Safer Sex and STIs? Safety has many layers. On Saturday's workshops, we avoid physical risks through exercise design. In the Exploration Space on Saturday evening, we rely on personal responsibility and provide protection. For Sunday's ritual, we use the Navigator Pass: each Sub notes their safer-sex policies (e.g., barrier protection) on their sheet, which the Dom checks and strictly respects. PrEP users, Poz people (u=u), and everyone else are equally welcome. We promote honest communication without stigma.

8. Aftercare

What if I feel emotionally overwhelmed? This can happen during intensive BDSM work. Our team of "Care Angels" is here to support you. Additionally, Sunday afternoon is dedicated to gentle integration and grounding.
